My 2010 NFL Mock Draft

1. Sam Bradford, QB-St. Louis- I think this is pretty obvious, even if he hasnt signed yet. Releasing Marc Bulger means The Greatest Show on Turf needs a new ring leader

2. Ndamukong Suh, DT-Detroit-Rumors are that the Lions like Suh more than McCoy, so this pick isnt surprising either. Suh and Vanden Bosch teamed up might actually mean a decent line for the Lions

3. Gerald McCoy, DT- Tampa Bay-The Bucs biggest area of need also fits with the best player available, as they find a replacement for the Chris Hovan or Ryan Sims

4. Russell Okung, OT- Washington- Time to protect your assets. With Donovan McNabb on board, and Chris Samuels retired, a new blindside protector is necessary

5. Bryan Bulaga, OT- Kansas City- The Chiefs really like what they have in Branden Albert, but he may be better off at guard. The question here is Bulaga or Trent Williams....sources say Bulaga

6. Trent Williams, OT-Seattle-In a similar situation to Washington, the Seahawks need to replace Walter Jones. They may be better off picking a quarterback,(you really trust Charlie Whitehurst?) but Jimmy Clausen shouldnt be picked this high

7. Eric Berry, S- Cleveland- The Browns also could use a quarterback, but they need a safety even more. Even with Earl Thomas gaining ground, Berry should still be the first safety picked

8. Bruce Campbell, OT- Oakland- Mocking the Raiders is really deciding how dumb you think Al Davis is. After picking workout warrior Heyward-Bey last year, Im going to say he repeats his mistakes and picks athletic freak Bruce Campbell. In all seriousness, Derrick Morgan or Dez Bryant would be a better pick to fill their needs

9. Jimmy Clausen, QB- Buffalo- Again, Clausen doesnt impress me that much. But Trent Edwards shouldn't be a starter anymore, and Clausen is one of the few quarterbacks that can actually contribute this year

10. Earl Thomas, S- Jacksonville- Even with two young safeties, the Jaguars would still be willing to take Thomas, one of the rising players in the draft. Joe Haden and Brandon Graham are also considerations here.
